Miami Beach Voters Reject Increase in Pay for Mayor and Commissioners

Miami Beach voters once again rejected an increase in compensation for City Commissioners and Mayor as well as a term increase and new term limit for the Mayor. They also were in no mood to allow the same incentives for office space as allowed for hotels on Washington Avenue and Alton Road.
 
While decisive on the ballot questions, voters split among the many candidates running for three Commission seats setting up a run-off election for all three groups on Tuesday, November 19. Details on early voting and precincts here.
